Artist Statement:

Michelle is inspired by the world around her and all the colors in nature. She uses this inspiration to vibrantly achieve the scenes she paints.

She loves the way paint and paper react; with contrasts in hard and soft edges, with dark and light value and color melting on the paper to create shapes and forms that lead the viewer to see the glorious color in this brilliant world around us.
